How to Browse and Purchase Items on the Pierre von Kleist Website
Updated
Pierre von Kleist (pierrevonkleist.com) is an artist-run publishing house based in Lisbon, Portugal, founded by André Príncipe and José Pedro Cortes. Its online store lists photography and artist books with titles, artist names, and USD prices, and you can add items to a cart and check out. This guide covers how to browse the catalog, read product listings, and complete a purchase, plus what to watch for along the way.
What the site sells
The catalog is made up of artist books and editions, largely tied to the two founders and their circle. Examples visible on the homepage include:
| Title | Artist | Listed price |
|---|---|---|
| Casa Capital | José Pedro Cortes | $24.00 USD |
| Mana | André Príncipe | $24.00 USD |
| Dragon Blue | Keiko Nomura | $26.00 USD |
| Mar Negro | Nuno Barroso | $29.00 USD |
| Ocean Rain | José Pedro Cortes | $14.00 USD |
| Anima – Encounters with Wild Animals in Portugal | André Príncipe | $35.00 USD |
| Casa de Lava – Caderno | Pedro Costa | $41.00 USD |
| Careful Driving Avoids Accidents | Augusto Alves da Silva | $12.00 USD |
Prices run roughly from $12 to $41 USD in the listings shown, so the store spans inexpensive small-format items up to larger books. Treat the table as a sample of the range, not a fixed catalog — titles and prices change.
Browsing the catalog
- Open pierrevonkleist.com. The homepage presents the product list directly, so you can start scanning without navigating to a separate shop page.
- Read each listing as three pieces of information: title, artist, and price. The format is consistent — for example, "Dragon Blue by Keiko Nomura" followed by the price.
- Note availability. Items that cannot be purchased are marked "Sold out" in the listing. In the homepage data, Vitalina Varela – Caderno de Rodagem (Pedro Costa and others), Familia Aeminium (Pedro Costa and Rui Chafes), and others appear as sold out.
- Use the country/region selector if you need to check or change your region. The site includes a "Country/region" control, typically used to set where an order ships from or to.
Expected result: you should be able to identify a title, its artist, its price, and whether it is available before adding anything to a cart.
Adding to cart and checking out
- Select the item you want. If it is not marked sold out, it can be added.
- Add it to the cart. The site confirms this with an "Item added to your cart" notice.
- Review the cart, then proceed to checkout. The store supports a checkout process for the items you have collected.
- Complete the purchase. The site does not publish payment-platform details in the material available here, so the exact payment methods are not confirmed — check the checkout page itself for what is accepted.
Expected result: a completed order for the available titles you selected.
Common snags
- Sold-out titles. These are displayed but cannot be bought. If a title you want shows "Sold out," it is not currently purchasable through the store.
- Price display. Prices are shown in USD. If your region differs, confirm the currency and any conversion at checkout rather than assuming the listed figure is your final charge.
- Region selection. The country/region control affects your order, so set it before checking out rather than after.
- Stock changes. Availability is not static; a title available today may be sold out later, and vice versa.
Staying informed
The site offers an email subscription ("Subscribe to our emails"). If you want notice of new editions or restocks — useful given how many titles sell out — subscribing is the direct way to get updates.
